today calls for:
walks in the rain
big nest like hair
possibly hanging out with a boy from my poetry class
my last bowl
new pack of menthols
watching Margot play
and too much math homework












last night Sarah, this lovely girl with dreads and tree limbs, and Jackie, an awesome girl with great tattoos and glasses, came over. we smoked zongs and bowls and a few orange hookahs. Jackie shared her tall cans of beer and we half watched things online and talked happily. After they left Alicia and I ate ice cream and enjoyed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Later, the words of Huxley, of Brave New World lulled me to sleep.
Alex was here this last weekend. it was interesting and strange and nice. there was a ghostly terribly beautiful snow storm on Alex's way up here. he didn't arrive till after 8pm. i bought whiskey so it was waiting for him-so we took shots. around 10pm we ventured out to Beth's birthday party. Beth is terribly cute with naturally red hair and a lovely voice. it was a lovely beautiful sight seeing all the snow but a bit scary. we arrived and opted for a safer parking space and walked a block or so to the party. the snow was like this beautiful abandonment. we arrived at a yellow house and was welcomed in. girls sitting on couches with their knees pulled close to their chests. a boy with bright blood nest of curls introduced himself to me and blinked his half open blue eyes. games of beer bong were int he kitchen and down stairs was for smoking. we drank whiskey from the bottle and tired to play word games with drunk boys. we went up stairs and saw beth, sarah, jackie, and her girl friend.
the living room had grown into one big heart. everyone danced and swayed and hopped around. after a few more swigs i joined the mechanism. i felt perfect. i smiled at Alex across the room and Alicia outside smoking a cigarette in the snow.
later we giggled with Beth and she kept saying how she was so happy to see us. i met another girl with red hair who looked like a movie star and begged to get in a fist fight while she laughed. another girl came up to me and called me "goddamn beautiful" and kissed my hand. a boy with long brown hair packed a bowl and i gave Beth shotguns.
we left shortly after giggling and so drunk and happy. alex and alicia holding me on both sides as i giggled. we stopped at a grocery store to buy beer and stopped to stare at the falling snow. we went home and fell down snow hills. alicia lost her key and i had left mine at home. alex had to break a window for us to break in. but we didn't care! nothing could break our spirits!
things are good. things are nice! things are great!
